There are plenty of rumors hitting the internet regarding the upcoming film "Superman: The Man of Steel" and for the most part, they have been correct so far (which is actually very weird). Kevin Costner was said to be a frontrunner to play Jonathan Kent before he accepted the role, Henry Cavill was one of the most widely rumored actors to don the cape before scoring the role of Superman, and Viggo Mortensen (though he will not be starring in the film) was being looked at to play a role in the film (it is rumored he was up for General Zod).The latest couple of rumors seem to be making the rounds at a few different websites. Gerard Butler (300, The Bounty Hunter) is said to be up for the role of General Zod now that Viggo Mortensen is unable to star in the film. This seems logical due to the fact that Butler and director Zack Snyder have a good working relationship and are friends. Gerard Butler would fit the role perfectly if he does end up playing Zod (again, it is only rumored at this point that Zod is in the film).There are also rumors going around that Edgar Ramirez is up for a villain role in the film (the rumors do not state which villain). Legendary Pictures is currently making "Wrath of the Titans", the sequel to "Clash of the Titans", which co-stars Edgar Ramirez. It makes sense that Legendary Pictures would look into hiring Ramirez for their upcoming film, "Superman: The Man of Steel".Well, thanks for reading and take care! I will post more very soon!
